Connect the test leads to the object
being tested.
5.
Read the value displayed in the
main display.
The sample rate for the 99.99 mF range is
0.01 times/second. It may take as long as
two minutes before the measured value is
displayed.
This instrument measures capacitance by
the charge-discharge method.
